Travay 13
1 Alò te gen nan Antioche, nan legliz ki te la a, pwofèt ak mèt yo; Barnabas ak Simon ki te rele Niger, ak Lucius de Cyrène, ak Manaen ki te grandi avèk Hérode, tetrak la (youn nan kat wa yo), ak Saul.
Now, there were in the congregation that was at Antioch, certain prophets and teachers; particularly, Barnabas, and Simeon, who was called Niger, and Lucius, the Cyrenian, and Manaen, who was educated with Herod, the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 Pandan yo t ap fè sèvis pou Senyè a, e t ap jene, Lespri Sen an te di: “Mete apa pou Mwen Barnabas ak Saul, pou travay ke mwen rele yo a.”
And as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate to me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.
3 Alò, lè yo te fin fè jèn nan ak lapriyè, yo te poze men sou yo e te voye yo ale.
And having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them; they dismissed them.
4 Konsa, ranvoye pa Lespri Sen an, yo te desann Séleucie. Depi la yo te pran yon bato pou Chypre.
They, therefore, being sent by the Holy Spirit, departed to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus;
5 Lè yo te rive Salamine, yo te kòmanse pwoklame pawòl Bondye a nan sinagòg Jwif yo. Anplis Jean te la pou ede yo.
and being arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they had also John for their attendant.
6 Lè yo te fin travèse tout lil la, jis rive nan Paphos yo twouve yon sèten majisyen Jwif, yon fo pwofèt ke yo te rele Bar-Jésus
And having traversed the island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain Jew, a magician and false prophet, whose name was Barjesus;
7 ki te avèk pwokonsil la, Sergius Paulus, yon nonm byen entèlijan. Mesye sa te rele Barnabas avèk Saul pou vini pou l ta kapab tande pawòl Bondye a.
who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who calling for Barnabas and Saul desired to hear the word of God.
8 Men majisyen an, Elymas (se konsa non li tradwi) t ap opoze yo, e t ap chache detounen pwokonsil la kont lafwa a.
But Elymas, the magician, (for that was his name, when translated, ) withstood them, endeavoring to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
9 Men Saul, ki te osi konnen kon Paul, ranpli avèk Lespri Sen an, te fikse zye li sou li.
Then Saul, (who is also called Paul, ) being filled with the Holy Spirit, and looking steadfastly upon him,
10 Li te di: “Ou menm ki ranpli ak desepsyon ak fwod, ou menm fis a dyab la, ou menm lènmi a tout ladwati, èske ou p ap janm sispann fè kwochi chemen dwat a Senyè a?
said, O! full of all deceit, and of all wickedness! child of the devil! enemy of all righteousness! will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 Koulye a, gade byen men Bondye sou ou, ou va vin avèg e ou p ap wè solèy la pandan yon tan.” Imedyatman, yon brouya avèk yon fènwa te tonbe sou li, e li te ale toupatou pou chache moun pou ta mennen l pa lamen.
And, behold, now the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, and not see the sun for a time. And, immediately, a mist and darkness fell upon him; and going about, he sought some to lead him by the hand.
12 Answit, pwokonsil la te vin kwè lè li te wè sa ki te rive a, byen etone de doktrin Senyè a.
Then the proconsul, seeing what was done, believed; being struck with the doctrine of the Lord.
13 Alò, Paul avèk konpanyon li yo te monte sou lanmè a soti Paphos. Yo te rive nan vil Perge nan Pamphylie. Jean te kite yo la pou retounen Jérusalem.
And loosing from Paphos, they who were with Paul, came to Perga, in Pamphylia; but John withdrew himself from them, and returned to Jerusalem.
14 Men kontinye soti Perge yo te rive Antioche Pisidie a. Nan jou Saba a yo te antre nan sinagòg la, e yo te chita.
Nevertheless, they, going on from Perga, came to Antioch, in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
15 Aprè Lalwa ak Pwofèt yo te fin li, ofisye yo te voye kote yo e te di: “Frè yo, si nou gen nenpòt pawòl pou egzòte pèp la, pale.”
And after the reading of the law and the prophets; the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to the people, speak it.
16 Paul te kanpe. Li te fè sinyal avèk men l, e te di: “Lezòm Israël yo, ak nou menm ki krent Bondye, koute:
Then Paul stood up, and waiving his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you that fear God, hearken.
17 Bondye a pèp Israël sa a te chwazi zansèt nou yo, e te fè pèp la onore pandan sejou yo nan peyi Égypte. Epi avèk yon bra leve Li te mennen yo sòti ladann.
The God of this people chose our fathers, and raised the people while sojourning in the land of Egypt; and led them out of it with an uplifted arm.
18 Pandan anviwon yon tan de karant ane, konsa, li te sipòte yo nan dezè a.
And for a space of about forty years, he endured their behavior in the wilderness.
19 “Lè L te fin detwi sèt nasyon nan tè Canaan an, Li te divize tè pa yo a kòm eritaj. Sa te pran anviwon kat san senkant ane.
And having cast out seven nations in the land of Canaan, he distributed their country to them for an inheritance.
20 Apre bagay sa yo, Li te bay yo jij yo jiska Samuel, pwofèt la.
And after these transactions, which lasted about four hundred and fifty years' he gave them judges, till Samuel the prophet.
21 “Yo te mande pou yon wa, epi Bondye te bay yo Saul, Fis a Kis la, yon nonm nan tribi Benjamin an pou karant ane.
And, from that time, they desired a king: and God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the term of forty years.
22 “Lè L te fin retire li, Li te fè leve David pou l ta kapab wa sou yo. Selon Li, te temwaye e te di: ‘Mwen twouve David, fis a Jessé a, yon nonm selon pwòp kè Mwen ki va fè tout volonte M’.
And, having removed him, he raised up to them David, for a king; whom also he extolled, and said, "I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my will."
23 “Soti nan desandan a nonm sila a, selon pwomès la, Bondye te fè vini a Israël yon Sovè, Jésus.
Of this man's seed, according to the promise, God raised up to Israel, Jesus, the Saviour;
24 “Avan Li te vini Jean te preche yon batèm repantans pou tout pèp Israël la.
John having, to introduce his appearance, before he preached the immersion of reformation to all the people of Israel.
25 Alò, pandan Jean t ap konplete pakou li, li te kontinye ap mande: ‘Kisa nou sipoze ke mwen ye? Mwen se pa Li menm nan. Men gade byen, youn ap vini aprè mwen e sapat a pye li, mwen pa menm dign pou delase.
And when John was fulfilling his course, he said, Whom do you imagine me to be? I am not He; but behold, there comes one after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 “Frè yo, Fis a fanmi Abraham yo, sila pami nou ki krent Bondye yo, a nou mesaj sali sila a voye.
Brethren, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you that fear God; to you is the word of this salvation sent:
27 Paske sila ki rete Jérusalem yo, avèk gouvernè pa yo, pa t rekonèt ni Li menm, ni pawòl a pwofèt yo, malgre, yo konn li toupatou chak Saba a. Men yo te akonpli bagay sa yo lè yo te kondane Li.
for the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the sayings of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath day; have fulfilled them in condemning him.
28 Malgre yo pa t twouve okenn choz ki merite lanmò, yo te mande Pilate pou li ta fè l mouri.
And though they could find no cause of death in him; yet they requested Pilate that he might be executed.
29 Epi lè yo te fin akonpli tout sa ki te ekri konsènan Li yo, yo te retire Li sou kwa a, e yo te mete l nan yon tonm.
And when they had accomplished all things that were written concerning him; taking him down from the cross, they laid him in a tomb.
30 “Men Bondye te leve Li soti nan lanmò.
But God raised him up from the dead:
31 Konsa, pandan anpil jou, sa yo ki te sòti Galilée pou monte Jérusalem avè L yo, te wè li, menm sila yo ki koulye a se temwen Li a pèp la.
and he appeared for several days to those that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
32 “Konsa, nou preche a nou menm bòn nouvèl a pwomès ki te fèt a zansèt nou yo,
And we bring you good tidings, that the very promise which was made to the fathers,
33 ke Bondye te akonpli pou zanfan pa nou yo, lè l te resisite Jésus a, menm jan ke sa osi ekri nan dezyèm Sòm nan: ‘Ou se Fis Mwen; jodi a Mwen fè Ou.’
God has accomplished to us, their children, in raising up Jesus: as it is also written in the second Psalm, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee."
34 “Selon reyalite ke Li te leve soti nan lanmò, pou l pa ankò retounen nan pouriti, Li te pale konsa: ‘Mwen va bannou benediksyon a David ki sen e byen asire yo.’
And because he has raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus, "I will give you the sure mercies of David."
35 “Konsa, Li pale osi nan yon lòt Sòm ke ‘Ou p ap kite pa W, Sila Ki Sen an, sibi pouriti.’
Wherefore, also, in another place he says, "Thou wilt not permit thy Holy One to see corruption."
36 “Paske David, apre li te sèvi plan Bondye a nan jenerasyon pa l la, te dòmi. Li te vin plase pami zansèt li yo, e li te sibi dekonpozisyon.
Now David, having served his own generation according to the will of God; fell asleep, and was gathered to his fathers, and saw corruption.
37 Men Sila ke Bondye te fè leve a, pa t sibi dekonpozisyon menm.
But he whom God raised up, did not see corruption.
38 “Konsa, kite sa vin konnen a nou menm, frè yo, ke atravè Li menm, padon pou peche yo pwoklame a nou menm.
Be it known, therefore, to you, brethren, that by Him remission of sins is proclaimed to you:
39 Selon Li menm, tout moun ki kwè yo, vin lib de tout bagay ke nou pa t kapab libere pa Lalwa Moïse la.
and by Him, every one that believes is justified from all things; from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 “Konsa, fè atansyon, pou sa ki te pale nan pwofèt yo pa vini sou nou:
See to it, therefore, that what is spoken in the prophets may not come upon you:
41 ‘Gade byen mokè yo; Vin etone, e peri! Paske M ap acheve yon zèv nan jou nou yo, yon zèv ke nou p ap janm kwè, menmsi yon moun ta eksplike nou li.’”
"Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I perform a work in your days; a work which you will not believe, though one should distinctly declare it to you."
42 Pandan Paul ak Barnabas t ap sòti, pèp la te kontinye mande pou yo ta kapab pale yo bagay sa yo ankò nan pwochen Saba a.
Now, when going out, they requested that these words might be spoken to them, on the following Sabbath.
43 Alò, lè sinagòg la te lage, anpil nan Jwif yo ak pèp etranje ki te vin krent Bondye yo, te swiv Paul ak Barnabas. Yo te pale avèk yo pou ankouraje yo kontinye nan gras Bondye a.
And when the synagogue was broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, persuaded them to persevere in the favor of God.
44 Nan pwochen Saba a, prèske tout vil la te vin rasanble pou koute pawòl Bondye a.
And, on the following Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together, to hear the word of God.
45 Men lè Jwif yo te wè foul la, yo te ranpli avèk jalouzi, e yo te kòmanse pale kont bagay ke Paul te pale yo, e t ap fè blasfèm.
But the Jews, seeing the multitudes, were filled with zeal; and opposed the things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.
46 Paul ak Barnabas te pale avèk gwo kouraj. Yo te di: “Li te nesesè pou pawòl Bondye a ta pale a nou menm avan. Men akoz ke nou refize l, e jije pwòp tèt nou endign pou lavi etènèl la, gade byen n ap vire bò kote pèp etranje yo. (aiōnios g166)
Then Paul and Barnabas, with great freedom of speech, said, It was necessary, that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but since you thrust it away from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life; behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Paske konsa Senyè a te kòmande nou: ‘Mwen plase nou kòm yon limyè pou pèp etranje yo, pou nou ta pote delivrans jiska dènye ekstremite tè a.’”
For so the Lord has charged us, saying, "I have set you for a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth."
48 Lè pèp etranje yo te tande sa, yo te kòmanse rejwi e t ap bay glwa a pawòl Bondye a. Konsa, tout sila ki te nome pou lavi etènèl yo te kwè. (aiōnios g166)
And the Gentiles hearing this, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were disposed for eternal life, believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Pawòl Senyè a te gaye nan tout rejyon an.
And the word of the Lord was published throughout all that region.
50 Men Jwif yo te chofe fanm fidèl yo, ak chèf ki t ap dirije vil yo, pou fòmante yon pèsekisyon kont Paul ak Barnabas, e te chase yo deyò teritwa yo.
But the Jews stirred up some devout women of considerable rank, and the magistrates of the city; and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their territories.
51 Men yo te souke pousyè a, fè l sòti nan pye yo, kòm yon sign kont yo, e yo te ale Icone.
And they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
52 Epi disip yo te kontinye ranpli avèk jwa, e avèk Lespri Sen an.
But the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit.
